Question 2709
How can aquaplaning or hydroplaning be avoided?
- By constantly braking and accelerating.
- By driving at a reduced speed.
- By driving fast to give the grooves in the tire tread time to channel out the water that enters them.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By driving at a reduced speed.
Reducing speed helps the tires channel water away and maintain contact with the pavement. This reduces the risk of hydroplaning.
